They fought without armor.
Felt no pain.
And when the rage took over—they became monsters in human skin.

In this unforgettable episode of Viking Legacy and Lore, we dive deep into the wild, terrifying world of the Viking Berserkers—the legendary Norse warriors who were said to enter battle in a trance-like fury, tearing through enemies with supernatural strength and savage precision.

But what was the truth behind their legendary rage?

Were Berserkers high on herbs or mushrooms?
Were they cursed, blessed, or simply unhinged?
And why did their own people fear them as much as their enemies did?

You’ll uncover:

• The real meaning of the word Berserkr
• The possible rituals, substances, and psychological states that fueled their transformation
• The role of bears, wolves, and shapeshifter lore in Viking warrior cults
• The terrifying social cost of becoming a Berserker
• Why Viking kings both relied on and banished these warriors
• The difference between Berserkers and Ulfhéðnar
• And what this all tells us about Norse culture, fear, and how power was both worshipped and controlled

From the Icelandic sagas to battlefield legends, this episode explores how the Vikings weaponized rage itself—and why the myth of the Berserker still captures our imagination today.
